Energy Systems Flashcards
1
Q
ATP-PC System
A
Anaerobic
Short acting– like for a sprint
About 15 seconds
Phosphocreatine decomposes and is made into ATP
PC is very plentiful in the muscles
2
Q
Anaerobic Glycolysis
A
Used for high intensity short duration
400 m sprint
50% slower than ATP PC system
30-40 seconds
Glycogen–glucose– pyruvic acid
Lactic acid builds up in this system
3
Q
Aerobic
A
low intensity long duration
Takes several chemical reactions bt yields the most ATP
